COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBell’s Oberon is a wheat ale fermented with Bell’s signature house ale yeast, mixing a spicy hop character with mildly fruity aromas. The addition of wheat malt lends a smooth mouthfeel, making it a classic summer beer.

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2015 Aroma is lite and malty, a hint of hops. Taste is lite bread, with a bit of lemon. Perhaps I should try this again on a hot day - not used to being disappointed by Bells. ( note I was coming down with a cold when I rated this. Need to re-rate)

22nd May 2015: bright sunshine on the patio but surrounded my dark thunder clouds here in California (at my daughters). 12oz bottle poured into a Corsendonk badged stemmed tulip glass. Cloudy body with an orange hue to the lemon colour, on top a snow white crown of tight bubbles. highly carbonated, like most beers in this style. Yeasty, citrusy and too cold initially. The wheat comes through very heavily in the flavours and dominated the taste. Refreshing and crisp in nature, but not really my thing. Scored objectively.

Light golden color that is cloudy. Very little aroma and very little carbonation where I had it on tap. More of an American style wheat. No banana or clove flavors like a German Wheat. Slight spicy flavor with a bitter finish, though no hop aroma is present.
